This guy has come a very long way since getting him back severely emaciated and near death about 2 months ago. I keep going back and forth, we went to a swap yesterday and took 5 rabbits. He was the most social there, as you can see by the video heās a spunky and a very friendly individual. Everyone LOVED him, not one single person wanted him, but the other 4 sold within an hour of getting there. Iād love to keep him and keep him as a mascot for cherry blossom as this is the tempermeant I strive for, But I also need to accept that my health puts me in a position where itās unfair to him to be stuck in a cage all day when he loves free roaming and heās so well behaved. I would absolutely love for him to go to a pet home, he can go with a set up. heās a clean Buck, but he would need to be neutered as he will spray if heās TOO excited, though Iād be happy to sponsor or pay for it. I want him to stay local as well, just for peace of mind. If anyone in Va has any leads please let me know. He deserves the world and unfortunately right now I canāt provide that for him
Had no idea we got a literal tank š
If your nest boxes get so nasty to the point that the baby/babies are covered in urine scald, feces, and maggots. You need to get out of rabbits, because clearly you do not have the time of day to check over those poor creatures. It is NOT hard to check the next every day to see the conditions of it and the babies. If itās wet? Pull and put fresh. if thereās poops? Pull it and put fresh. If it smells bad? Pull it, AND PUT FRESH. If a baby dies? PULL IT AND PUT FRESH!!!there is no reason for babies to be covered in maggots feces and piss. Absolutely no call for it.
Here is an example of a clean nest box.
I understand some does like to use their nest boxes as personal commodes, but there are ways to avoid it. Shelve the kits and only allow monitored or assisted feedings, add a litterbox beside the nest box, remove any hay and only put straw or something seemingly unappetizing so they donāt sit there and eat/defecate. The worst part is that mom/kit pair was sold.. and the buyer found them in that condition.the seller didnāt know, how??!! Like I donāt get it.
Well our cabinet incubator hatchedā¦ š«£ they are just staying in these temporarily until we can split up our groups via color and breed the first one are all Virginias. Theyāre backyard mixed, some with an ameracauna roo, and some with a mixed bantam Cochin/silkie roo. They should all be some variety of blue/ green egg layers and will be incredibly hearty little birds. Mine are pure Ameracaunas and pure Wyandottes. I also have bantam Wyandottes that will be hatching in the next few days. I also have variety of ducklings hatching soon as well š„°

Feeding the babies
These are dahlias babies, they are coming up on 3 weeks of age and being fed by hand. Iām currently down a hand so we had to make do with this for now š
. Iām using goat milk from our goats. It has been warmed up and strained. Of course, Iām feeding them twice a day theyāre getting about a full syringe or until their bellies are full to the touch. This is not the first litter I have hand raised I actually raised their momās litter, so this is a bit reminiscent. Iām definitely going to be struggling for a while but thatās OK. And thatās nothing new to be honest, but we will make it workš¤ I hope yāall enjoy the video if you stayed to watch the whole 6 1/2 minutes of itš¤£š¤£ Tell me, which baby is your favorite? and which one you think made the most mess?
